JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com \u2013 Landslides have recurred in a riverside\nsettlement along the Ciliwung River, precisely on Jalan J, RT 06 RW 10,\nKebon Baru, Tebet, South Jakarta, on Friday 6 March 2026. The incident\ncaused two houses to slide into the river and destroyed six rental units\nat the site. In addition, part of the local access road was severed.<\/p>\n
According to Kompas.com\u2019s observations at the scene on Saturday 7\nMarch 2026, the soil on the riverbank has slumped over a stretch of\nabout 25 metres with a width of around five metres. The red clay cliff\ndirectly facing the Ciliwung River appears to have collapsed\ncompletely.<\/p>\n
Fragments of brickwork, roof sheets, wood, plant pots, and PVC pipes\nare mingled along the riverbank. At the edge of the cliff, residents\u2019\nbelongings remain, such as a white washing machine, plant pots, and\ncardboard mats lying on the local road.<\/p>\n
Yanti, 50, a resident whose house sits immediately beside the\nlandslide, described the terrifying moments when the ground near her\nhome suddenly subsided. She said the incident occurred on Friday around\n10:30 local time. \u201cYesterday the children were playing, then there was a\nsound like rumbling, and then suddenly the landslide happened and the\nhouse fell,\u201d Yanti told Kompas.com at the scene on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The collapsing structures were two houses typically rented out as\nlodgings. There are six rental units at the site.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, at the time of the incident all the houses were vacant,\nso there were no casualties.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s nobody in them, they\u2019re empty now. They were previously\noccupied, but there were signs of cracks, so they moved,\u201d Yanti\nadded.<\/p>\n
In addition, rain was reportedly drenching the area since the day\nbefore. The wet ground is believed to have made the slope even more\nfragile.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it was drizzling at the time. But it had been heavy rain since\nmorning and all night, with cracks already,\u201d Yanti said.<\/p>\n
As a result of the landslide, the local access road has become very\nnarrow and is no longer passable for motorcycles. Residents passing by\nnow must walk very carefully because the remaining road runs right along\nthe edge of the landslide.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/repeated-landslides-along-the-ciliwung-riverbank-collapse-two-homes-and-six-rental-units-1772927672", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
